Our Musical Love Interest

This story deserves a little explanation, so I'm going to back up about two weeks ago to Valentine's Day...

I was trying to come up with something sweet I could do for Aaron for V-day and was coming up blank. Even after searching Pinterest I was completely lost. So after some brainstorming with my bestie, Alexa, I had it: a "14 hours of Valentine's" project where he'd open little gifts (favorite candies, chapstick, etc.) every hour on the 14th minute. (I got my inspiration for it here.) Sappy right? But Valentine's Day is the one day a year I can do that and get away with it. I must say, it was HARD coming up with 14 little gifts to give him. I wish I had pictures cause it was super cute but I'll just list some of the things I came up with...

1. Conversation hearts (he LOVES those)
2. Peeps
3. Mexican candy
4. Chapstick (I got the raspberry lemonade kisstix at Macey's cause we always joke about them)
5. A kite from the dollar store
6. Dinner
7. A coupon for tacos
8. Reeses
9. Valentine's salt water taffy
10. A grow a pet (since he won't let me forget how much he wants a dog...)

There were a few other ones too but I don't remember them all. I splurged a little and got him some concert tickets too. Any of you who know Aaron know that he loves We Are The In Crowd and I saw they were coming to town so I surprised him! He was ridiculously excited.

Which brings me to last night. The concert was awesome! It's been so long since Aaron and I have been to a concert together (last one we went to was our first date to 30 Seconds to Mars) so it was super fun to do it again. Every Avenue was headlining who we didn't know quite as well but it didn't matter, we were there for WATIC anyway. :)

One of the opening bands was really good too: Simple as Surgery. They are from Georgia and are super young! I think the lead singer said he was 19. Crazy.

Anyway, they were on their first U.S. tour so Aaron and I decided we were gonna be fans from the start. The second band, The Audition, sucked. They were crude and annoying but whatever. Then came WATIC and we were front row! (Aaron got a pick at the end of the set too! Benefits to being front row!)

We didn't stay for Every Avenue because we'd seen who we came to see and frankly, had we stayed any longer, we both would have been deaf (my ears are still ringing!) All in all, it was a great evening. And we've got another one coming up next month! (Aaron got me tickets to my favorite band, Cartel, for Valentine's Day.) Looking forward to more fun dates with my wonderful hubby!
